We are delighted to announce the immediate release of Central Control Studio version 5. This is a big release.
WebPanel Pro
This is the big one. WebPanel Pro lets you build virtual control surfaces from scratch. Start with a blank canvas, add button grids, fader panels, on-screen joysticks that actually feel usable, and even live video previews from both NDI and Decklink sources. Customize your widgets, map your commands, and you’re ready to control from any device with a modern browser.
NDI Router
Central Control 5 now includes a fully featured NDI router. Create your input and output list, then route sources to destinations. Save presets for quick recall. NDI connect modules can be pointed at router outputs, which means you can set up monitoring views in WebPanel to check any NDI source on the network.
Ross Carbonite Integration
Central Control now works directly with Ross Carbonite switchers using native OGP protocol. That means automatic feedback and no messing with TSL tally, UDP ports, or workarounds. Just connect and go.
Teleprompter Improvements
Big visual and performance upgrades here. Text formatting including bold, italic, underline, color, and highlights now import cleanly, just like you wrote them. Scrolling is smoother and output quality is improved.
Append Feature
You can now merge modules from other projects into your current one, and all control mappings will be preserved. This makes it easy to reuse your best setups without rebuilding everything.
